A LETTER

This letter was mailed to Michele at the hospital. There was no return address, although it was postmarked in Colorado. A note on the back informed John to read the letter to Michele when he thought the time was right…


To Miracle Michele:

I don’t know you,

But I know of you.

I am a Mom, like you.

With four children, whom I cherish more than myself.

I am a wife, like you.

Who has a husband that loves me more than himself.

For now, I give you my strength –

The one that is deep in the soul,

That only you can touch.

The strength that we both can feel.

And we begin to rebuild, from inside

Bit by bit

Piece by piece.

Block by block.

Every step I take,

Will be a breath of yours.

Every mile I run,

Will be a step of yours.

Someday, I will come to you.

And we will smile,

And laugh,

And hug.

For now, I am you,

And you are me.



A Friend.
